Attachment: screenshot showing the problem

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101125 Firefox/4.0b8pre SeaMonkey/2.1b2pre - Build ID: 20101125004652

Not sure if this is the right Product/Component.

I'm using SeaMonkey on Linux, but the problem has also been seen in Firefox (with disabled items in the Search bar)

I'm attaching a screenshot: look at the Site Navigation toolbar. The non-greyed-out buttons (Top Up First Previous Next Last) display OK, with a shadow added to make sure they will be distinct. (How effective the shadow is still depends on the background colour, but I think the result is acceptable.) Then there are three more items (Document More Subscribe) which are hardly visible at all due to the lack of shadow, and to the lack of contrast with that part of the background image.

I believe that it would be nice to apply a contrasting shadow to greyed-out items too when a Persona is active.
